English translation:

“Lord Krishna says in this verse that when a sadhak attains that supreme state through the practice of yoga, he does not find any other benefit or worldly object superior to it. After reaching that state, no matter how great the suffering, that sadhak remains steadfast and is not perturbed by sufferings.”

In this verse Lord Krishna is discussing the supreme benefit of yoga. The highest state of yoga is where the practitioner attains enlightenment and is not interested in any other worldly gains. That state is so blissful and stable that the practitioner is not affected by any kind of sorrow or worldly suffering. This state is of permanent bliss and mental peace, which can be achieved only through yoga and meditation.
